The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and regardless of the severity of the condition, the obstruction is basically in the upper airway in the throat, a passage surrounded by soft tissue. Snoring is also caused by the vibration of the soft palate in this area. There are many causes of OSA. In addition to the local narrowing of the soft tissues of the upper respiratory tract or the presence of new organisms, age, obesity, appearance (jaw and facial bone development, such as a small jaw by birth), some diseases (such as hypothyroidism) and many other factors may act together to cause snoring and apnea. Therefore, it is difficult to solve all the factors regardless of the treatment taken. Therefore, sleep apnea, like all chronic diseases, is theoretically incurable, except for those caused by specific diseases. Even if some people temporarily improve with treatment, they may relapse with the increase in age and weight of the diagnosis. However, it does not matter, formal treatment can bring the symptoms under good control and has some protection for the heart, brain, blood vessels and important internal organs. Sleeping with a ventilator is one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe OSA. It is based on the principle of continuous positive airway pressure through a nasal mask or facemask to hold the upper airway in place, eliminate soft palate vibration and prevent upper airway collapse, ideally eliminating snoring and apnea, and thus eliminating nighttime hypoxia. However, this is also an allopathic treatment. Just as patients with hypertension and diabetes require regular daily medication, patients with OSA are required to sleep with a ventilator every day, and the longer they are on the ventilator each night, the better the protection for their bodies. An average of 4 hours or more per night is usually required. In addition, almost every patient has asked: Will I be dependent on the ventilator? I don’t want to be unable to breathe one day without it! In fact, OSA patients are not unable to breathe, their apnea is only due to the blockage of the upper airway, the respirator for OSA treatment is to provide a pressure to support the upper airway, so that it does not collapse or blockage, the breathing itself still depends on the patient to complete, and does not depend on the machine, so there is no respirator dependence. The ventilator makes it possible for patients with moderate to severe OSA to sleep with “peace of mind” and is a “household appliance” for everyday life. Let’s all work together to make life with a ventilator easier.
